What is Doge?

The name Doge refers to the support of Elon Musk mastiffA cryptocurrency originally created as a joke in 2021.

Since the inauguration of President Trump President, on January 20, the value of Dogecoin has dropped by almost a third.
Trump established DOGE by an executive decree last month, integrating it directly into the executive power rather than an external advisory body. The order also renamed the American digital service, a White House unit focused on government technological projects within the Management and Budget Office (OMB), as an American service.
“I am pleased to announce that the Grand Elon Musk, working in collaboration with the American patriot Vivek Ramaswam, will lead the Ministry of Government Effectiveness (DOGE),” said Trump.

Why the judge blocked the DOGE team of the Treasury data

Friday, a coalition of 19 State prosecutors filed a complaint against Trump, the Treasury Department, and the Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, alleging that the administration illegally extends access to sensitive data from the Treasury for personnel related to Musk’s Doge.
In his decision on Saturday, the judge declared that the States pursuing the administration would suffer “irreparable damage” without immediate intervention of the court. He cited two key risks: the potential exposure of sensitive and confidential information and increased vulnerability of hazarding cash systems as part of the new policy.
“It is both because of the risk that the new policy presents the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the increased risk that the systems in question are more vulnerable than before,” he wrote.
Although Musk is neither a federal employee nor a government official, the American media recently pointed out that he had been registered as a “employee of the special government”.
While DOGE does not have complete ministerial status – Request the approval of the Congress – Musk and his team aggressively crossed the federal agencies, freeing foreign aid, reduces budgets and tempting mass dismissals in the weeks following the new administration.
